1. All Universal Forum Rules apply, of course.
2. There will be no random discussions. That's what he have the chatbox for. Spam topics will be locked on sight, and the user might get a warning, depending on the spammyness of the topic.
3. No ranting
This board is not a bulletin or blog for your personal feelings on any given topic that may crop up; it's all well and good to share your opinions with people, but don't make threads and posts just to complain about something outright because you feel like it. This includes making threads with titles like "This really angers me!" or other such generic things, or going on about how you hate a certain public figure. This also applies to news about anything; if you can't simply state something happened and build up a discussion from there, don't post. Indignation breeds indignation, and the forums hardly need a topic filled with people talking about how they're going to kill/hurt *blank* public figure or company because of something they did. Even this in a joking manner will only be lightly tolerated, at best.
4. No forum games, RPs, or whatever. We've got the Roleplaying forum and the games forum for that, respectively.
5. No Advice threads
We are a game forum... we are not "Dear Abby" And getting life advice from complete strangers is generally a bad idea. If you've got some trouble with your computer, then this might not be such a bad idea, but take every suggestion you get on such threads with a grain of salt: deleting your C-drive is /not/ a good idea. (Alas, giving damaging advice to others is also not allowed here. If you do not have something useful to say, don't say it)
6. No duplicate topics
If we notice you are just making a copy of a topic, the thread will be deleted. Plain and simple.
